A possible retreat from goodreads ... though I'm tempted to yell "get off my lawn" at this site's tumblresque-ness. Yes, that's totally a word.
I haven't been around as much as normal for the usual reasons (at least for me, lately), but after reading that we've got spoiler tags and top reviewers and Goodreads is deleting books that aren't published yet because it speaks of their (ironic, much?) censorship of the site, I really, really, REALLY, need to polish my space up here and make it home. I see no reason not to make this my number one place for book discussion, anymore.
I don't know guys, I'm invested, for sure, but I just want this book/trilogy to be over at this point. I'm hoping the end is massively insane otherwise I might not be able to recommend this as a whole.
*crosses fingers*
I got one of the cheap "new" Kindle Fires this week (mostly to stream stuff at the gym and read manga and have something larger than my iPhone to read emails on when I travel) and so far, I'm in love.
I think this graphic novel supplied by NetGalley shall be the first thing I officially read and review on it. Here's hoping that all goes well ... Or I might just go back to paper books for a while again.
So I've been itching for some high/epic fantasy. No Tolkien. Nothing too dry or dudebro-ish. I'd like some girls in the mix, though they don't have to be the main character(s). It can be YA or adult: that doesn't matter much, but I'm leaning more towards adult. There better not be even a hint or a mention of the words "dystopia" or "post-apocalyptic." It'd be nice also if the book was still in print and somewhere on my shelves, though the second part is not required. No self-published or indie books.
So, piece of cake, right? I'm not picky at ALL.
Any recommendations? Here's what I have on my shelves. (I know, I know, it's really dumb to link to GR but my shelves are still a work in progress on here. It is what it is.) If you don't have a GR account anymore though and still want to rec something then my shelves on here aren't TOO bad.
Thanks in advance!
